Please indulge me in a little ltc bragging. These are her teacher’s comments on her most recent report card “F continues to amaze me with her talent in all curriculum areas. She is the most engaged reader in the class by far and is totally committed to understanding every new math concept.”
The girl's not playing with a full deck, Giles. She has almost no deck. She has a three.

That's wonderful, sj! To excel in both language and math is impressive. You and TCG should be very proud.

On the little verbal standardized tests shes has she's usually at the 97th or 98th percentile in verbal skills and 85th percentile in math skills. She definitely prefers to read, but she's still above average in math. The "committed to understanding" is the part I'm the most proud of because she can definitely have the tendency to not want to try things that don't come easy to her (which she definitely gets from me), and we've worked really hard to break her of that tendency.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I got an answer from their Facebook page, and the orchestra will still be having the Classical Roots concert, so at least there's that.

Great job, ltc!
I've been soaking up the fancy hotel life here, and I'm going from a full breakfast to lunch in an hour. So I'll probably have very little at lunch.
But I'll see some Kenyon people there before the service at 3pm. Then out of towners are invited to go to dinner with the family.
Tomorrow is the looser, Celebration of Life/Reception where I'll speak a little about Josh.
Then back very early on Monday morning.

David, I hope the warm and comfort of seeing old friends helps balance the sorrow.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Laura, I wasn't hurt, just embarrassed. I ended up breaking off a few rows from the rack, and scattered earrings all over. Gary got me a new earring rack for Valentine's Day, but it needs to be assembled and he's been really busy lately.
Meanwhile, Mr. S is here for an overnight stay He told us yesterday on the phone that he was going to make a salad for today's lunch, and gave us a list of things to buy for it. He gets here today and decides he wants chicken for lunch. When will he make the salad? I don't know, and it's frustrating that he does stuff like this.

Thrive to spite them
Go ltc!!
So M's cousin has moved back to our couch. He was getting in fights with who ever he was staying with. He keeps forgetting and starting to smoke. which is annoying. The house smells so much better since we banned smoking from the house.
Today I was petting Cheeto and I realized one of his front claws looks like it's torn out. I can't really tell how bad the damage is because he bite me and ran off.
I guess I'll be calling the vet on Monday .

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I hate SalesForce for entirely other, local reasons.
I am in the process of convincing the baby (not a baby) that he doesn't need to be on The Boob for the entire time from 3AM till wake up about 6. He Disagrees.
Which is to say, I am too tired and too on a phone for a full meara, but I'm vibing hard for everyone
